Xero is having a Oops! We Made Too Much Sale. Select colors for Prio are on sale for $45 and HFS for $60. Shipping is $4.99 for first pair and $2.99 for additional pairs. Sale ends on July 6.
I'm going to grab a pair of the Prios since I got the HFS during the last FP deal because they are great! I've never used barefoot style running shoes before, but these changed my perspective on shoes in general. It does take a bit to get used to them if you've used more cushioned running shoes, but they feel amazing once you do and maybe they break-in a bit. I also tried them when I was doing some squats and they feel great for that too. I like doing barefoot squats, but I don't take my shoes off at the gym. Just for reference, I do have a pair of weightlifting shoes with a raised heel which makes it easier to lift, but I feel like I can get the same drive from these shoes with a more natural form.
Ordered 2 days ago, and order still sitting at "processing". Hope these ship soon.
It's been about 7 days for me.
If it helps- I ordered mine on the first day of the sale (early morning of June 22nd). FedEx tracking showed "label created" and pending for about four or five days. It finally arrived in my state today, June 28th. Hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow. I think because they are a smaller shoe company it's taking them longer than what we are used to.
Great price, comparatively-speaking to other barefoot, wide toe-box shoes like Vivo. I have both HFS and Prio. Prio are a bit thicker material. I feel it's a bit snug fit. The HFS is light and airy. A bit more flex and toes can move around. The "fit and finish" of the HFS is a bit better. My first pair of Prio's, the sole started to peel from the upper. Granted, I'm pretty hard on the shoes. Xero covered under warranty.
Overall, I think barefoot shoes have helped with my knee issues. I feel the ground more therefore I'm more mindful how I step and i'm more focused on not letting my feet collapse (I have flat feet) or hit the ground too hard with each step. This keeps everything better aligned and helps with my knee health. YMMV
If it's your first time wearing barefoot shoes, they take some getting used to. Take it slow.
Are these any the same as Nike free run? I hate the new Nike sock fit because it makes it to narrow for my feet.
which one would be better for just waking? Prio or the HFS?
Totally different than any Nike or Adidas I've ever wore. Free Run shoes have a bit more flex in the sole, but Xero's are whole other animal. Xero offer wide toe box and very flexible soles. Your feet will have a lot more freedom, if that makes sense. Keep in mind, there is practically no cushion. As I mention in my previous post, they take some getting used to. You'll have to think before you step. And when you do step, you'll feel it. But in the end, I think, it's better for your physical health; feet, ankles, knees, hips, even back.
Do these really run a half size small over your own general size?
I went 1/2 up with HFS (Usually wear 11.5 adidas and nike, I purchased 12 for HFS). I feel like my toes have more space to move around, not just width, but also up and down. If that makes sense.
Prio I got true to size, but overall a bit snug. I kinda prefer it that way.

Thanks, sucks was looking at the HFS, I'm normally a 12 and the sizes are pretty limited in 12.5 to all black
